Keeping with the theme of American IdolSeason 13, the Idol producers have thrown yet another curveball our way. This is the last week we’ll stick to the normal Wednesday and Thursday night times for the show.

What’s that mean? Well, don’t worry. Wednesdays will be the same. We’ll have two hours of performances every Wednesday from here until the mid-May finale, which we anticipate will be a Tuesday and Wednesday affair on May 20 and 21.

Thursdays, however. Now that’s where it gets tricky. This week’s show (March 6) will be the typical one hour from 8 to 9 p.m. The very next week, though, Idol’s result episode will start an hour later, at 9 p.m. That’ll be the case for the March 13 and March 20 shows but come March 27 and the Top 9, the episode will be cut down to just 30 minutes.
